Reviews

"This excellent book contains information, ideas and approaches to help develop your learners' thinking skills...Children were encouraged to be as creative as possible and 'think outside of the box'."   Reviewed by Julie Beach in Learning and Teaching Update, Issue B, April 2008

"Getting the Buggers to Think is a resolutely practical guide. It is precisely sequenced, heavy with activities and light on theory - just the way most teachers need such a book to be... A solid addition to her series and is sure to find its spine well creased"
